Berkley, MI

These 41 Wallach cards were generously sent by Paul from Berkley, Michigan. Paul operates the "Scribbled Ink" blog, which I encourage you click and open in a new tab right now before you even finish reading this sentence. It's a nice mix of cards with a lot from the Expos years.

For something different I went with mostly the card backs for a change and noticed something I never had before. Take a look at the 1991 Upper Deck checklist card (it's the Wells painting) and the back of the 1991 Upper Deck card. I'm willing to bet that the photo used by Wells was probably from the same at bat as the photo on the back of the '91 UD base card. Upper Deck probably sent him photos that they opted not to use on the card. It's little things like this that excite me.
